    The answer is yes but you should avoid it. Some clients use programs like FrontPage and 
    Dreamweaver and can only FTP (File Transfer Protocol). It is for that reason alone that
    we provide the service.  If you can 
    <a href="?section=webhosting&page=howto_accesssftp" class="SiteLink">
    sFTP</a> (Secure File Transfer Protocol), we highly recommend that you do so.
  </p>

  <p class = "bodycopy">
    The problem with FTP is that sends everything over the Internet in plain text format.
    Therefore, any computer between your computer and server can capture the information. This 
    includes your username, password and any scripts that have passwords or other private 
    information in them. FTP is considered a high risk activity! Please, if you can use 
    <a href="?section=webhosting&page=howto_accesssftp" class="SiteLink">sFTP</a> then use it.  
  </p>

  <p class = "bodycopy">
    There is a lot of really good software available that will allow you to 
    <a href="?section=webhosting&page=howto_accesssftp" class="SiteLink">sFTP</a>.  
    Some of it is cheap or even free. Perform a search on
    <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net" class = "SiteLink"
    onclick = "window.open(this.href,\'_blank\');return false;"
    >http://www.sourceforge.net</a> or <a href="http://www.download.com" 
    onclick = "window.open(this.href,\'_blank\');return false;" class="SiteLink">
    http://www.download.com</a> and you will find quite a few choices.  If you are using Mac 
    OS X or higher or Linux / Unix then you already have the software you need. Windows users 
    need to find a third party application. There are also plug-ins for some program like 
    FrontPage and Dreamweaver that will permit sFTP uploads. They require a little tweaking to 
    get working but if you can use them it is highly recommended.

    To make an FTP connection you will need four pieces of information (username, password, 
    domain name and port number). The username and password are caps sensitive so "smith" is not 
    the same as "Smith." 
  </p>

  <p class = "bodycopy">
    The username and password is not the same one used for email or 
    <a href="https://admin.jppeach.net/cgi-bin/qmailadmin" class="SiteLink">QMail Admin</a>
    . When your account was created, an email was sent that told you the username and password 
    used for shell account access ( 
    <a href="?section=webhosting&page=howto_accessftp" class="SiteLink">FTP</a>,
    <a href="?section=webhosting&page=howto_accesssftp" class="SiteLink">sFTP</a> and 
    <a href="?section=webhosting&page=howto_accessssh" class="SiteLink">SSH2</a> ). 
    If you cannot locate this information, please contact us at 
    <a href="mailto:support@jppeach.net" class="MailLink">support@jppeach.net</a>
    and we will send you the username. We are not able to see what your password is. For 
    security reasons the passwords are one-way encrypted. If you have forgotten your password, 
    please send us one that you would like to use. The password can be changed by using the 
    \'passwd\' command from the shell account.
  </p>

  <p class = "bodycopy">
    It is possible to use the same password for email, shell and 
    <a href="https://admin.jppeach.net/cgi-bin/qmailadmin" class="SiteLink">QMail Admin</a>
    access but changing it one does not affect the others.  It is a bad idea to use a common 
    password for all three as it poses a security risk.
  </p>

  <p class = "bodycopy">
    The hostname is your domain name. The domain name is everything after "@" in your mailing 
    address. For example:<br />
    Email Address: username@mydomain.com<br />
    You would enter \'mydomain.com\'
  </p>

  <p class = "bodycopy">
    If you are not sure what your domain name is, you can set it to jppeach.net and that will 
    work.
